A career across institutions, markets and ideas.
Babar Mazher Khan is a Canadian author, strategist, finance professional, entrepreneur and independent researcher whose career has crossed banking, investment, corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions, real estate, technology, business development and education.
Experience behind the research
The work on economic pluralism, financial pluralism, institutional trust and EPDL developed gradually from observing how economic systems actually treat people, businesses, capital, risk and opportunity.
His international experience spans Pakistan, Qatar and Canada. That breadth now informs a central question: how well do institutions recognize, evaluate and enable human capability — and what happens economically when they do not?
